Dear Experts:
Thank you so much for your kind advise.
I am still studying it carefully, word-by-word, to set up the site and to
learn the development - once again.
It has been a long time since I've been involved in development works. Back
in late 90s when I did some basic developments on web site, I just used FTP
to upload and download files. But the most fancy thing at that time was a
single flash picture - ha ha ha.
After that, I have been working on the marketing, business development, and
some management works and the "technical" focuses are no more than
technology/product trends and business cases, applications, and processes.
Now I decided to start up my own little business and need to do some
technical stuffs as any other small business owners who have to be hands-on
once a while.
It's a brand new ball game to me now.
But what I really meant to say here is, I really appreciate your kind help.
I've always learned a lot from user group for different things and I always
admired people spend their time on this "free" work.
If my business runs well, I will have my staff and myself to make more
contribution to create a better community.
Once again, thanks so much for your kind advise.
Sincerely,
